Next Bill Day.
It Will Provide for the Admission of

The State to be Entitled to Four Rep

Congress in 1888.
A Practical Plan.

CHICAGO, Dec. 21.-A Washington spec
ial to the Times says Mr.. Springer, chair
man of the committee on territories, is pre-
pairing for introducing on the first bill day
an enabling act for Dakota. Springer's bill
will provide for holding the election on
the Tuesday after the first Monday in June
next for delegates to convention to meet
on the third Tuesday in July to frame a
constitution. That constitution will be SUBJ
mitted to the people for vote upon its
ratification on the Tuesday after the first
Monday in November, 1888, and
at the same time the people
may elect two representatives to
congress, a governor and other state Off
GERS and legislature. That legislature
then elected may choose two United States
senators and that constitution may be SUBJ
mitted to congress for approval in Decem-
Der, 1888. Mr.. Springer's proposition is to
enable the territory as whole to be ad-
mitted and her senators and representa-
tives to take their seats in congress at the
second session of the fiftieth congress-.
